The image depicts a cartoon woman visibly sweating, clutching a fan made of green banknotes and a frosty beverage, while glancing at a large thermometer that scales from “Hotter Than...” through “Miserable,” “Very Hot,” “Hot,” to “Warm.” Her flushed cheeks, droplets of sweat, and tense posture emphasize escalating thermal discomfort. The illustration humorously highlights human responses to extreme heat-monetary coping (fan), hydration, and emotional strain.
